Chapter 45: Opportunity

On the fifteenth, the news of the lunar eclipse spread immediately.

"What's all the fuss about?"

Gao Lingbo said casually.

"Si Tiantai is not a prediction of three or four solar eclipses and lunar eclipses in any year, and three times out of ten is the incense of Puxiu Temple."

The subordinates in the room laughed.

"There is already a solar eclipse this year, and another lunar eclipse, wouldn't it be a mess." Someone said.

Gao Lingbo frowned when he heard this.

"If there really is a lunar eclipse, then...", he said slowly, "If the moral government is not cultivated, the prime minister will change the trouble, and the guilty will be edicted." ”

At this point, he sat up straight.

"What did Chen Shao say over there?" He asked.

"Zhongshu stopped the astronomy class, and at this time it is not trivial, and he is discussing it in detail on Si Tiantai." A subordinate said, "However, Si Tiantai is also noisy. ”

Gao Lingbo frowned.

"They are on the rooftop, and the conclusion is still inconclusive?" He asked, "Then why did it come up?" ”

"Is there a lunar eclipse or is there one?"

Chen Shao looked at the Tiantai lifting in front of him, and asked with a little anger.

"Nope." Si Tiantai said.

"There may be, but the jury is out yet." Some people also hurriedly reminded, "The things of the heavens are not human beings can observe." ”

This kind of talk can't be said to be dead, everything must leave a way back.

Chen Shao naturally knew their tricks and threw the astronomy lesson on several cases.

"So what the hell is going on?" He shouted.

"This is all the wanton remarks of student Guo Yuan!"

Si Tiantai's promotion of the young prison judges said in unison.

"Find him!" Chen Shao shouted.

The man answered the call, and after a short time ran back in a panic.

"My lord, it's not good. Guo Yuanyue's prelude is right! ”

Chen Shao was furious.

"Ridiculous!"

He hurried out.

"I'm in trouble now."

"If you get into trouble, it's Guo Yuan's trouble."

Si Tiantai and the others discussed in a low voice. I also hurriedly followed.

In the Diligent Palace. The emperor looked at the young man kneeling in front of him, holding a book of music in his hand, and although he spoke very firmly, he could not hide the trembling of his body.

I don't know if it's nervous or excited.

"Student Guo Yuan, there is a lunar eclipse on the fifteenth night of the performance, please tell Your Majesty to tell the people to lead a hundred officials to respect the heavens and protect them."

Student?

The emperor was a little surprised, this is probably the origin of the rumors that the king of Jin'an asked him to go to Si Tiantai to hear.

A student predicts a lunar eclipse, how can the officials of Si Tiantai listen. Bound to quarrel and reprimand.

I met here, and Chen Shao and Si Tiantai's people also came over.

"Your Majesty, the matter of celestial phenomena has not yet been decided, so don't listen to this person."

"Your Majesty, our Si Tiantai is calculating, and there is no conclusion yet."

"These are all Guo Yuan's words."

The palace was noisy, the emperor was absent-minded, they were talking about nothing more than having a lunar eclipse or not having a lunar eclipse, he knew all these things, and he was not interested in the arguments of these people.

From time to time, the Emperor looked out the door. Why hasn't the king of Jin'an come back yet? It's been a day and a night.

Hasn't Cheng Niangzi finished deducing yet?

"Your Majesty! Student Guo Yuan is willing to vouch for his life! ”

When this sound came, the emperor came back to his senses.

What the?

He looked into the temple. Everyone else also looked at Guo Yuan, who was kneeling, with a little shock.

"On the fifteenth day of this month, the ugly hour and the fourth quarter of the month will be lost, if it is not allowed, the students are willing to fall to the ground to thank the sin of disrespect to the sky."

The young student's face was flushed, his eyes were bright, he reached out and raised his fist high, and said quickly.

There was silence in the hall for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

"Do you think you're Li Chunfeng?" Si Tiantai raised his sleeves and sneered.

Young people are still too vigorous.

It's not a bad thing, but if it's only blood, it's stupid.

"Your Majesty, please cure Guo Yuan's crime of vain."

The emperor recovered from his surprise, and when the hall was in chaos, an attendant from the outside hurried forward, approaching the emperor and whispering in his ear under the gaze of everyone.

Seeing that the emperor frowned when he heard this, he was overjoyed.

What is it?

Everyone's hearts have questions.

"What about others?" The Emperor asked in a low voice.

"I was stopped by the Chinese book, and I was not allowed to enter at this time." The chamberlain whispered.

The emperor took a few cases.

"More and more ridiculous!" He shouted.

The officials standing in the palace were overjoyed when they heard this.

"The ministers are guilty." They said in unison.

The Emperor looked at them and held out his hand.

An attendant hurried over and took the piece from Guo Yuan's hand.

"Well, in that case, I'll let you do it." The Emperor reached out and took it.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

"Your Majesty, how can the celestial phenomena be child's play!" Chen Shao stepped forward and said.

"The celestial phenomena are not to be played with." The emperor said, his expression indifferent, "So, if there is a lunar eclipse, I am willing to admit punishment and confess my sins to the heavens and pray for blessings, if not, then..."

When he said this, he stood up, threw the piece in his hand on a few cases, and looked at Guo Yuan who was kneeling on the ground.

"Punish him."

…………………………………………

The uproar caused by this incident in the court did not dissipate until the evening.

The Emperor put down the recital and closed his eyes a little tiredly.

"Your Highness, you have to be careful of the dragon body." The chamberlain choked up and said, "Let's have some dinner." ”

The Emperor shook his head.

"Your Majesty, eat as much as you want." The chamberlain knelt down and choked up and said, "Lunch is useless, and dinner can't be used anymore." ”

"Did I really do something wrong? Visions of heavenly punishment are frequent. The Emperor muttered.

It's been good news lately.

With two divine weapons, his body is much better, and he is pregnant with a dragon fetus, and the courtiers who are greedy for merit and inaction are also refuted and driven out.

How...

"Is there a mistake in the government? I've worked so hard to blame itβ€”" he muttered.

First the solar eclipse, and then the lunar eclipse, it is chaotic.

I originally thought it was Si Tiantai's people who made a mistake. But...

"What else did the King of Jin'an say?" He asked.

"Nope. said that Cheng Niangzi also speculated that there was a lunar eclipse. The chamberlain whispered.

So is this lunar eclipse auspicious or evil?

Does this need to be asked? Naturally, it is fierce.

The Emperor sighed again in his heart.

"Why don't you summon Mrs. Cheng to ask?" The chamberlain said.

The Emperor shook his head.

"I've already asked. What else to ask? And she's not the only one who can figure it out. He said, "That student can calculate, and there are naturally people in the world who can calculate, instead of asking her again and again, it seems stingy and timid, it is better to make a bet with this student, and also settle up at ease." ”

The chamberlain nodded.

"Your Majesty." He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say. "Will this student recognize Cheng Niangzi...."

The Emperor smiled.

"I've thought about it too, and I've already asked the Imperial City Division to check it." He said, "This Guo is far from the capital, when his father revised the calendar to get Yin Rong, at the age of six he became an astronomical officer, and then his father died early, he also had no one to supervise, and when he became an adult, he came to Beijing to be a student in Si Tiantai, and now it has been three years, and he has always been unknown in Si Tiantai." I'm very interested in astronomical quizzes, and I haven't recognized it all with my colleagues at Si Tiantai. Not to mention having sex with Cheng Niangzi. ”

He smiled at this.

"At that time, when Mrs. Cheng set off the fireworks, he was guarding the armillary sphere and didn't see the fireworks."

So he didn't get enlightened like Li Mao.

The chamberlain laughed, and the emperor could still joke, which showed that the mood was not so bad.

"In this way, it is not difficult to deduce the celestial phenomena." He smiled and said, "It turns out that except for Cheng Niangzi, everyone else can do it." ”

That's right, in addition to Cheng Niangzi, he also has such talents in the court.

The emperor was slightly proud.

"Cheng Niangzi is also a human, not an immortal." He laughed.

But he smiled and sighed.

In any case, the solar eclipse followed by the lunar eclipse is not a glorious good thing, wait, wait for it, after the fifteenth day, there will be chaos and noise again, and according to the custom, the emperor will be asked to cultivate virtue and issue an edict.

Where is the sin? Where is the sin?

Unwilling, unwilling!

The Emperor raised his hand to set aside the pen and paper on several cases, and closed his eyes again.

Although the emperor did not summon Cheng Niangzi, this does not mean that everyone will not think too much.

"The emperor is never quick to decide."

In the night, Chen Shao sat in Mrs. Chen's room and said.

"This time I actually responded to a student's ridiculous gambling on my life, which shows that I must have full confidence in my heart."

Old Lady Chen nodded.

"Although you blocked His Majesty's summoning of Cheng Niangzi, you can't stop others." He laughed.

Chen Shao nodded and poured tea.

"It looks like there's really a lunar eclipse this time." He said, "The lunar eclipse is inauspicious, and there was a solar eclipse before, which is even more inauspicious." ”

"The sun is yang, the truth is not lost, and the image of the king is also." Old lady Chen said, "The sun and the moon are eclipse, and there are inappropriate people in Meiji Road." ”

Chen Shao held the tea to Mrs. Chen, and his expression was slightly stunned.

"If the government is wrong, and the celestial phenomena warn, Your Majesty should meditate and cultivate virtue, and there will be great changes to eliminate disasters and differences." "This is also an opportunity," he said. ”

Old Lady Chen took the tea and smiled slightly.

…………………………………….

"It turns out that Your Majesty summoned Cheng Niangzi for this day."

Gao Lingbo said.

"Did the student do it alone, or did Cheng Niangzi help behind?"

The singers in the house had already retired, and the staff members were scattered.

"I've already checked, and it was the student who did it." A staff member said, "At that time, there was a lot of noise in Si Tiantai, and it must have reached Your Majesty's ears, and Your Majesty summoned Cheng Niangzi to ask, but she was stopped, so she asked the King of Jin'an County to ask, and I think Cheng Niangzi also said yes, so Your Majesty will answer the request of the student Guo Yuan in the palace." ”

Gao Lingbo nodded, relieved.

"I thought that woman had a way of eclipse of the sun and the moon." He laughed.

The staff laughed.

"There's no such thing." They all said.

"In this way, there is indeed a lunar eclipse." After laughing for a moment, one of the staff members said, "Then this eclipse of the sun and the moon can be described as a great omen." ”

"So, if the government is at fault, you have to look for problems and check the officials to listen to what they say." Gao Lingbo smiled and held up the marigold, "This is also an opportunity." ”

The people in the room looked at each other, and they all laughed, and each raised his wine bowl.
